Bengaluru: Organisations rarely fail due to lack of talent, funding or intent, they fail in the space between strategy and behaviour, according to a survey by executive search and talent advisory firm, Biz Staffing Comrade Pvt Ltd.Only 5 per cent of senior leaders said lack of right capabilities or talent is the biggest drag on delivering business priorities. Instead, 59 per cent said changing priorities and shifting business requirements are the biggest obstacle to execution, and 36 per cent pointed to processes, systems or ways of working that have not kept pace. Not one leader cited slow decision-making.”Shifting priorities are now a constant in business, not a temporary disruption. Organisations that execute well are not the ones that hire fastest, but the ones that build enough flexibility into their teams, processes and systems to absorb change without losing momentum,” said Jasvinder Bedi, Managing Partner, Biz Staffing Comrade.’Less than 40% clear skill test’: Why Bengaluru employers are looking beyond degrees when hiring freshersThe survey also found that technology is moving faster than people. Half of all leaders (50 per cent) said change-management effort is what organisations most often underestimate when investing in technology, AI or transformation.”Companies are budgeting carefully for technology but treating adoption as an afterthought. When half of all leaders say change management is the most underestimated part of transformation, the message is clear: the return on AI will depend on how well roles, skills and ways of working are redesigned around it,” said Puneet Arora, Managing Partner, Biz Staffing Comrade.On growth constraints, 41 percent said operating model, processes and systems would become the biggest constraint if their organisation had to grow 2X in three years, and 36 per cent cited culture, alignment and decision-making. Critical talent (14 per cent) and leadership capacity (9 per cent) ranked lower.”Talent acquisition is evolving from a hiring function into a capability function. Our clients are no longer asking us only to fill roles. They want help identifying capabilities their next phase of growth will require, and deciding whether to hire, develop or redeploy talent to build them,” said Aditi Rana, Managing Partner, Biz Staffing Comrade.
